Its good that in tennis you can find some solution against big players like Marin or Milos or (John) Isner, the 25-year-old said.Maybe Im quicker. I think I can take the ball earlier. I have other weapons. Thats why tennis is a nice sport.Im really happy with the way I managed the important points... it was the key of the match, to win the first set, and to be more relaxed in the second.After being forced to fighting off four set points in the opening set, Goffin took the tie-break 7-4 and then broke 10th seed Cilics serve twice in the second set.I was on my baseline and I was making him run a lot, said the Belgian, who has won two ATP titles.When I had the opportunity on his second serve, I was really aggressive, so thats why it was a better second set.Raonic pounded out 10 aces to reach the semi-finals at Indian Wells for the second straight year. Highlights of the quarter-final between Milos Raonic and Gael Monfils from Indian Wells I did things well. I created opportunities for myself, the 12th seed said.I served well and when I did get myself in trouble, I felt like it was me forcing the game. Those kind of things are positive and I stuck to it and it came together.Raonic relinquished an early break to Monfils in the first set but broke back in the 12th game to go 1-0 up and carried the momentum into the second set before serving out for the victory after 90 minutes.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Texas Rangers went into the All-Star break reeling, with nine losses their last 12 games and three-fifths of their starting rotation still on the disabled list.Their last game was a 10-run loss at home to the team with the American Leagues worst record.We went through a stretch where we didnt play good as a team, third baseman Adrian Beltre said. We understand were going to go through highs and lows and I assume this is our low.As bad as that stretch was -- that 15-5 loss to Minnesota was the fifth time in nine games they allowed at least 10 runs -- the Rangers go into Wrigley Field this weekend still with the ALs best record (54-36) and a 5 1/2-game division lead over the Houston Astros. That is the largest AL West lead Texas has ever had coming out of the midsummer break, but it had been as big as 10 games in late June.We have the right team to get in the postseason, and after getting in the postseason, we have enough talent and experience to keep moving on, shortstop Elvis Andrus said.Right-hander Yu Darvish is scheduled to return from the disabled list and rejoin the rotation Saturday for the second of three games against the Chicago Cubs. With All-Star lefty Cole Hamels set for the series finale, it will be only the fourth time this season Texas top aces pitch in back-to-back games.Here are some things that went right before the break and others second-year manager Jeff Banister and the Rangers have to watch over the final 72 games when trying to win another AL West title:SURPRISE ALL-STAR: Ian Desmond was a career shortstop his seven seasons with Washington, but turned down a deal to stay with the Nationals. He was unsigned until after the start of spring training, when he went to Texas and switched to left field to replace injured slugger Josh Hamilton. By mid-May, Desmond was the everyday center fielder and this week was the only Texas position player at the All-Star game.No doubt, hes been our best player, Beltre said.We found a center fielder ... one of the premier cennter fielders in the American League as far as you put the whole package together, Banister said.dddddddddddd. He was a National League shortstop last year. That in itself is just phenomenal.Desmond is hitting .322 with 15 home runs and 55 RBI.HURTING HURLERS: Darvish last pitched for the Rangers on June 8, only his third start for them since missing 2015 because of Tommy John surgery. He then went back on the DL with shoulder discomfort.Colby Lewis (strained lat muscle) and Derek Holland (shoulder inflammation) both headed to the DL on the same day in late June.Lewis (6-1, 3.21 ERA) is on the 60-day DL and cant return until at least late August, having made only one shortened start since his near perfect game June 16 at Oakland. Holland (5-5, 5.20) started playing catch again in the last week.ON THE ROAD AGAIN: The Rangers are in a span of playing 19 of 23 games on the road, making them the first MLB team since the 2004 Tampa Bay Rays with four home games or fewer in a span of 28 games or more in the regular season. Texas plays its next nine games on the road. Before four home games against Minnesota going into the All-Star break, the Rangers had played 10 in a row away from Arlington.CLOSING IT DOWN: Sam Dyson has 18 saves, 16 of those in two months since taking over as the Rangers closer, including an MLB-best 10 saves in June. The right-hander got some needed rest, with only three appearances in 11 days before the break. Shawn Tolleson had 35 saves in 2015, and 11 more this season, when his four blown chances included consecutive appearances in mid-May.ONE GOAL: Beltres sole goal in his 19th major league season is to finally win the World Series.I dont have a lot of time to basically be comfortable with just getting to the playoffs, said Beltre, the 37-year-old third baseman signed through 2018. Thats not enough for me. Im here to push this thing to win the World Series. ' ' '
